The Office of Professional Development and Community Engagement recognizes that career development is an ongoing process, as are the ways in which Westminster engages with the broader community. Our office works with alumni as their career paths evolve and as they think about how to bring networking, internship, employment, and community engagement opportunities to current Titans. If you are interested in connecting with the PDCE staff, please reach out to us, pdce@westminster.edu. The PDCE also coordinates on many programs and outreach with the Alumni Office and offers ways for Titan Alumni to “give back” with time and talent through specific student-centered outreach.
Alumni Interview Program
The PDCE and the Alumni Office can help students connect and network with alumni who are professionals in the field(s) in which they are interested. Please contact the PDCE if you are interested in networking with current students.
Alumni Shadowing Program
Sponsored by the Alumni Office and the PDCE, this program provides students with opportunities to spend a day in the field with an alumnus in an area of professional interest.
